The Twisted Float Shrug –
Annie Modesitt's Twisted-Float Shrug was originally featured
on the cover of
Vogue Knitting Fall 2005 and is now re-featured in
Vogue
Knitting's 25th Anniversary Issue (Top Ten Hits). The unusual
construction calls for the body to be worked in the round from
the center out in a twisted-float garter pattern. It is designed
to be worn two ways: one way for a longer jacket and upside-down
for a shorter one.
